In EU, an average of 3.1 million tons of paddy rice is produced (ca. 450.000 ha). Around 80% of the EU rice production takes place in Italy and Spain, with a further 12% in Greece and Portugal. Globally, 750 million tons of rice husk (RH) are yearly produced, and it is estimated a continuous increase of 1.1% each year. Each ton of rice can produce 20% of RH, that must be eliminated since it accumulates in the environment due to its low degradability. RH generates 18-20% of RHA through a combustion process. The inadequate deposition of RHA pollutes the environment and deteriorates the respiratory system of humans and animals. During RH incineration, the burnt ash can spread into a large area facilitated by air, causing environmental pollution. According to these figures, large volumes of RHAs with low density are becoming a major challenge to the surroundings of dumping environment and dump fill areas. VALZEO intendsto employ RHAs as raw supplies to produce composite materials based on hierarchical zeolites modified by metal oxide nanoparticles (MON) and metal-organic framework (MOF) materials with a double purpose, the removal of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes and microorganisms in water, and the catalytic production of biodiesel. To address such challenge, VALZEO will promote the exchange of researchers from participating institutions to enhance the exchange of knowledge, best practices, know-how, innovative ideas, experience, cooperation, and culture of work. VALZEO will foster, improve and develop permanent international and inter-sector collaboration between academic research centers, and private sector, enhancing the exchange of knowledge, best practices, know-how, innovations, experience, mutual cooperation and culture of work at different regions and countries (ES, IT, UK and CU) through a series of scheduled secondments

在欧盟中，平均生产了310万吨稻米（约450.000公顷）。大约80％的欧盟水稻生产发生在意大利和西班牙，希腊和葡萄牙又有12％。在全球范围内，每年生产7.5亿吨稻壳（RH），估计每年持续增长1.1％。每吨大米可以产生20％的RH，这必须消除，因为它由于其低降解性而在环境中积累。 RH通过燃烧过程产生18-20％的RHA。 RHA沉积不足会污染环境，并恶化人类和动物的呼吸系统。在RH焚烧期间，烧焦的灰分可能扩散到空气中的大面积，从而造成环境污染。根据这些数字，大量的RHA具有低密度的RHA正成为倾倒环境和垃圾场填充区域周围环境的主要挑战。 Valzeo打算采用RHA作为原始供应来生产基于由金属氧化物纳米颗粒（MON）和金属有机框架（MOF）材料修饰的层次沸石（MOF）材料的复合材料，并具有双重目的，去除药物，农药，染料，染料，染料和微生物中的水，水，水，水，水，水，水以及生物柴油的催化产生。为了应对这一挑战，瓦尔泽（Valzeo）将促进参与机构的研究人员交流，以增强知识，最佳实践，专有技术，创新思想，经验，合作和工作文化的交流。 Valzeo将在学术研究中心和私营部门之间培养，改善和发展永久的国际和部门间合作，从国家（ES，IT，英国和CU）通过一系列预定的借调
